    Speci(r)c gravity (SG) or relative density of a substance is the ratio of the weight of the substance to the weight of an equal volume of fresh water. If a volume of one cubic metre is considered, then the SG or relative density or substance is the density of the substance. E.g. The mass density of FW 1000 kg per cubic metre or 1.000 tonne / m 3 the mass Density of SW 1025 kg per cubic metres or 1.025 tonne

    Density and specic gravity


    Density is dened as `mass per unit volume'. e.g. The mass density of FW 1000 kg per cubic metre or 1.000 tonne/m 3 The mass density of SW 1025 kg per cubic metre or 1.025 tonne/m 3 The specic gravity (SG) or relative density of a substance is dened as the ratio of the weight of the substance to the weight of an equal volume of fresh water. If a volume of one cubic metre is considered, then the SG or relative density of a substance is the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of fresh water. i.e. Density of the substance SG or relative density of a substance Density of fresh water The density of FW 1000 kg per cu. m ; SG of a substance or Density in kg per cuX m 1000 SG
    Example 1 Find the relative density of salt water whose density is 1025 kg per cu. m Relative density Density of SW in kg per cuX m 1000 1025 1000

    Example 2 Find the density of a fuel oil whose relative density is 0.92 Density in kg per cu. m 1000 SG 1000 0X92 ; Density 920 kg per cu. m Example 3 When a double-bottom tank is full of fresh water it holds 120 tonnes. Find how many tonnes of oil of relative density 0.84 it will hold. Relative density or Mass of oil Mass of FW relative density 120 0X84 tonnes Mass of oil 100X8 tonnes Example 4 A tank measures 20 m 24 m 10.5 m and contains oil of relative density 0.84. Find the mass of oil it contains when the ullage is 2.5 m. An ullage is the distance from the surface of the liquid in the tank to the top of the tank. A sounding is the distance from the surface of the liquid to the base of the tank or sounding pad. Mass of oil Mass of FW

    1 2 3 4 5 6 A tank holds 120 tonnes when full of fresh water. Find how many tonnes of oil of relative density 0.84 it will hold, allowing 2% of the volume of the tank for expansion in the oil. A tank when full will hold 130 tonnes of salt water. Find how many tonnes of oil relative density 0.909 it will hold, allowing 1% of the volume of the tank for expansion. A tank measuring 8 m 6 m 7 m is being lled with oil of relative density 0.9. Find how many tonnes of oil in the tank when the ullage is 3 metres. Oil of relative density 0.75 is run into a tank measuring 6 m 4 m 8 m until the ullage is 2 metres. Calculate the number of tonnes of oil the tank then contains. A tank will hold 100 tonnes when full of fresh water. Find how many tonnes of oil of relative density 0.85 may be loaded if 2% of the volume of the oil loaded is to be allowed for expansion. A deep tank 10 metres long, 16 metres wide and 6 metres deep has a coaming 4 metres long, 4 metres wide and 25 cm deep. (Depth of tank does not include depth of coaming). How may tonnes of oil, of relative density 0.92, can it hold if a space equal to 3% of the oil loaded is allowed for expansion?
